Save and Protect
BETA means backups matter — guard your 200-tile masterpiece.

Save and Protect Your Airport
You spent forty hours reaching 150 capacity, funded Long Range ATC Tower, and watched your first Airbus A380 touch down — then a BETA patch greets you with an empty plot. Itty Bitty Airport saves to Roblox cloud like most tycoons, but BETA (~35 Robux) means update risk never fully disappears. This guide covers save slots, Extra Save Slot Gamepass (125R$), and habits that protect endgame work.
How saving works
Progress saves to your Roblox account, not individual devices. Load the game on PC or mobile — same airport (mobile vs PC).
Manual save triggers vary by BETA build — assume auto-save on exit and major build actions. Don’t force-close mid-placement.
Multiple save slots let you run parallel airports — experiment with airport layouts without demolishing main hub.
Extra Save Slot Gamepass (125R$)
Adds additional save capacity for 125 Robux.
Worth it when:
- Running main endgame save + creative test save
- BETA updates approaching — release and updates
- You want rollback after risky taxiway rebuilds
Skip when:
- Casual beginner still on first Beechcraft routes — beginner guide

Backup strategies
1. Duplicate save slot
Before major demolitions, switch to alt slot and copy layout mentally or screenshot. Extra Save Slot makes this practical.
2. Screenshot documentation
Capture overhead views after each milestone:
- 40 capacity (737 era)
- 150 capacity (747 era)
- 200 capacity (A380 era)
Store in camera roll — rebuild insurance if save corrupts.
3. Redeem codes once
Codes bind to account — if restarting save slot, code cash doesn’t repeat. Budget accordingly per how to redeem.
4. Gamepass permanence
Boeing 737 and Q400 Gamepasses survive save wipes — aircraft still unlocked on fresh slot.
Infinite Cash (1200R$) helps recovery — evaluate carefully.
BETA update risk
Taco Dev ships frequent BETA patches. Typical impacts:
- Balance changes (payout tweaks) — planes hub
- New codes — codes hub
- Rare save incompatibility on major refactors
Monitor Discord community — no official Trello (explained).
Before big updates:
- Finish current build session cleanly
- Screenshot layout
- Avoid starting new demolish project
Corruption recovery steps
- Rejoin different Roblox server
- Load alternate save slot
- Restart Roblox app
- Check Discord for widespread reports
- Contact Taco Dev support channels if account-specific
Don’t panic-delete account — Roblox support sometimes recovers data.
Protecting high-value progress
Endgame airports (200 tiles, $400K tower) deserve Extra Save Slot — endgame guide
Code windfalls ($162k) — spend on permanent tiles/ATC, not consumables
Jetway order — document last-placed gate before logout
Use save and protect alongside how to get money so recovery funds exist.
Account security
Enable Roblox 2FA
Don’t share account for “free codes” scams
Only trust working codes list — not random generators
